Is Galaxy Book 4 i7 13th Gen Good for Coding, Data Science & Casual Gaming?

[_parthmanhas]

Hi everyone,

I'm considering buying the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 (2024) with the Intel Core i7 13th Gen processor (U-series), 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. I want to know if this laptop is good for:

Coding & programming

Learning data science, ethical hacking & cybersecurity(might use VM)

Development tasks (VS Code, Python, etc.)

Casual gaming (like CS2, Minecraft, Battlefield 2/3, Valorant, etc.)

I don’t expect high-end gaming or extreme GPU performance, but I want to know if it can handle these tasks decently without heating or lag. Also, how’s the battery life and build quality for regular student + tech use?

Would appreciate honest feedback from current users or experts!

Thanks in advance.

The problem is i cant find much options around the pricepoint of 50 to 60 k rs. And even if i do, i have to compromise with the build quality by alot and also thermals
